committees. good to see you. thank you for being here. i want to pivot because the president is overseas as we speak. we just had pictures momentarily of a few moments ago of the first lady meeting with first responders in cornwall, england. the president's message is very clear, america is back. we saw it, messages of support from angela merkel, from emmanuel macron, that america is welcome back. i wonder whether america is welcomed back as a soccer player who was off with an injury and is now hobbling back or america is back in its position of leadership at the g7 and in nato and in the world as it should be? >> we are back, ali. you know, on a personal note, i just have to say i saw you last night. you were going strong this morning. i just want to know if you ever sleep. you can tell me that privately. >> we'll sleep one day, senator. >> right, right. but, no, it is always wonderful to be with you. yes, we are back. i think there's multiple ways you can see that. first, it really is a breath of fresh air to see president biden
